MY FAMILY
I wanted to build a business where I can do what I love, but also have all the time I want with the ones I love most. I married my best friend. We have a boy, a girl and the cutest golden retriever.

I love to explore new places & try new things. My favorite place to go is anywhere near the Ocean.
I am an advocate for Leave No Trace, Conservation, and preserving our wildlife.
